4.3.5 Finishing the installation
Preparation for the installation is now complete, and the files for SIPLACE EDM can be copied now
and configuration can be carried out. The screen lists the activities which need to be carried out (see
Figure 11) for installation of a master server.

4.4 Upgrading a Previous Version
4.4.1 Conditions / downward compatibility
Installing different versions of EDM on Master and Client is possible, but should be avoided. In this
scenario, some precaution has to be taken as different versions of SIPLACE Pro involve data
structures which only may be transferred from the lower version to the newer one.
Thus, during an upgrade, the master server, all line servers and all clearing pools should be
changed to EDM 1.7 (and thus to SIPLACE Pro 7.0).
EDM 1.7 may use all templates which were created for EDM 1.1 or later, as well as custom
workflows.
4.4.2 Simultaneous upgrade over all lines
Where possible, production on all the lines to be upgraded should be suspended for the duration of
the upgrade. As soon as all the components have been converted, production can be restarted. The
upgrade operation is carried out as follows:
1. Interrupt production on all the lines to be upgraded.
2. Transfer all notifications from the line servers to the master server.
3. Accept/reject all notifications in the clearing pool.
4. Close all EDM components.
5. Install SIPLACE Pro and than EDM line server on all lines.
6. Install SIPLACE Pro and than EDM master server on the master server.
CAUTION:
All notifications still in the clearing pool are lost if you delete or reinitialize the EDM
data base.
7. Resume production.
Simultaneous upgrade across all the lines is preferred to a gradual upgrade of individual lines
(insofar as this is possible).

4.4.3 Gradual upgrade of individual lines / compatibility mode
If it is not possible to perform a simultaneous upgrade across all the lines, EDM provides a
“compatibility mode” which permits restricted operation of an EDM 1.5. line server in conjunction
with an EDM 1.4 master server for the duration of the upgrade. This compatibility mode must not be
used for long-term mixed operation of an EDM 1.5 line server with an EDM 1.4 master server.
In compatibility mode, it is still possible for an EDM line server to pull data from the master server. It
is not, however, possible to send notifications to the master server. All the notifications which arise
during compatibility mode are saved, and can be transferred to an EDM master server when
compatibility mode is terminated.
Gradual upgrading of individual lines is carried out as follows:
1. Interrupt production on one of the lines to be upgraded.
2. Transfer all notifications from the line server of this line to the master server.
3. Install SIPLACE Pro on the line server of this line.
4. Install the EDM line server on the line server of this line.
5. Resume production on this line.
6. Repeat steps 1-5 for the other lines to be upgraded.
7. Shut down the master server.
8. Accept/reject all notifications in the clearing pool.
9. Install SIPLACE Pro and the EDM master server on the master server.
10. Start the master server
CAUTION:
All notifications still in the clearing pool are lost if you delete or reinitialize the EDM
data base.
